Rugby League State Of Origin: 5 Reasons You Should Be Watching

By Sean Mills /

3. Magic Moments

Now don€™t let my two first points wrongly lead you into assuming that Origin is nothing but a battle, as that is simply not the case. State of Origin over the years has provided numerous moments of magic, and even in the last 10 years, we€™ve had Lockyer€™s fond farewell, the same for Fittler, The return of Andrew Johns to deliver a virtuoso performance in 2005, and Billy Slater€™s amazing effort in 2004 to name a few, the list really is endless. To keep with origin tradition, I€™m in no doubt that the 2013 series will have the usual share of magic, and with the amount of great players that will take the field, I think I€™m fairly right to make that assumption.
